I Can’t Die Today
I gave up knotting ties underneath my collar
And said farewell to the six figure dollar
I gave title and fortune all that power
To face my own sadness with my morning shower
Too embarrassed to be happy or too dumb to see
The real measure of success: the girl riding with me
They said, don’t do it boy, don’t walk away
Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play
I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way
All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today
Never hit my stride in those shiny black shoes
Always teaching others, never finding a clue
Green with envy; my color of choice
Focused on the history instead of finding a voice
Numb from all the anger and unable to feel
A love growing inside that was finally real
They said, don’t do it boy, don’t walk away
Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play
I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way
All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today
A part of me was dying
The part you might say is my soul
Dreams of rebuilding me bit by bit
With passion taking control
The house we bought is bigger than the one in our dreams
We have all that we need with only half of the means
Gone is the desire to always compare
Time’s the only currency and I have plenty to share
The love that we grew was nurtured inside
Two became four and it’s a hell of a ride
But they said… don’t do it boy, don’t walk away
Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play
I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way
All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today
They said, don’t do it boy, don’t walk away
Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play
I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way
All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today All I want’s tomorrow, nothing’s left in the way
